I just contacted the Greek guy by phone, to ask him if he has any Batteriser for sale.
Apparently, these are just samples, and shipments are expected to start on the new year.
Very interesting.
This would explain the relatively few people who have gotten them so far.
Also, how would a random IGG backer who was lucky enough to get one of the first units possibly know that information?
He also told me it does indeed work as advertised.
ARGH!
We are going to hear this time and time again after everyone gets one.
They will measure the output voltage and it will be 1.5V on a dead battery. Or they will plug it into their product and the battery gauge will go to 100%
This is of course fully expected. Of course a voltage boost converter containing 4 parts works, it's electronics 101.
The product "working" and actually getting anywhere near the claims that have been made are two entirely different things.
I've said it before and I'll say it again for those non-technical people who might happen upon the forum, in extra bold large font size and bright colour for easy reference
There isn't a single engineer on the planet that even remotely doubts the Batteriser will "work" as a boost converter and give you 1.5V output from a "dead" or "used" battery.
